Clouds, temps in mid-30s on tap for St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day will be nearly identical to last year with a partly cloudy sky and chilly high temperatures near 35 degrees.

Temperatures will drop off tonight but may begin to rise overnight as a warm front lifts north.

A gusty south wind will usher in lower 50s for Tuesday. Clouds will increase by late afternoon ahead of a cold front and our next system. Scattered rain showers Tuesday night will transition to scattered rain and snow showers for Wednesday.

Spring arrives just before noon on Thursday with a great deal of sunshine and highs in the upper 40s. The 50s return for Friday, but so does the chance for rain.
